Leaving #Seoul after an intense week!
The #ICLA2025 Congress was a blast. I especially enjoyed our "Digital Comparative Literature" sessions; great discussions! And the round table on responsible use of generative LLMs turned out really great as well, with a rather large audience.
The only […]

Now at #ICLA2025, the special session "Celebrating Han Kang's Nobel Prize Award" in the Grand Ballroom.
A bit of a pity for the international visibility of this session, its topic and its hero, that talks appear to be in #Korean with just the first lines of the […]

We're now in the middle of the special roundtable session on "Living With Machines: Comparative Literature, AI, and the Ethics of Digital Imagination".
I'll speak briefly about different kinds of AI (generative LLMs, non-generative LLMs, deep learning, machine learning); when to use which, and […]

Second session of the day, with interesting papers!
One by Nicholas Wong from Hong Kong University on using word embeddings to detect semantic shifts of words related to "humanity" in a long-running journal, Chao Foon.
And one by Yue Wang on character networks in the famous Chinese […]
Out "Digital Comparative Literature" track is in full swing today, with the first session about #Latour and #AI, about "Digital World Literature" and about the scholarly publishing landscape in the humanities, which urgently needs to catch up with the scholar-led, Diamond OA movement...

Very fitting for #ICLA2025, just came across this article on writing poetry between two languages:
"Moving between cities and tongues, poet Tim Tim Cheng wants to put Hong Kong’s writing on the map" in Hong Kong Free Pres […]
Certainly a highlight of this #ICLA2025 conference coming up now: A keynote lecture by Nobel Prize in Literature recipient Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio... unfortunately, due to health issues, via Zoom... and we're currently waiting for him to show up... let's see.
Now up, Claude Patricia Tardif with a talk on "Un nouvel outil numérique de visualisation de textes pour la littéraire comparée". Very cool visualizations of textual structure! #ICLA2025

A three-tired scatterplot with blue and orange dots. Y-Axis: metadata distance. X-Axis: textual distance. There is a weak correlation, with larger metadata distance correlating with larger textual distance.
My own talk, which is coming up / just happened, is on #Multilingual #Stylometry.
Based on our work for #CHR2024, we've moved on from the influence of language and translation on stylometric attribution accuracy to the influence of corpus composition. I'll be […]

Very excited to be in #Seoul all week for the ICLA Congress 2025, the very large meeting of the International Comparative Literature Association! #ICLA2025

Since then, I've continued the journey: presenting at several international conferences (next up: #ICLA2025 in Seoul!) and discussing these issues with students as a short-term visiting professor in France and Georgia.
